The next afternoon was the end of the week where the maids of the mansion had their time to clean their clothing. Along with Carmen, Vella, and the rest of the maids, Elise held a large basket of freshly washed dress and went toward the backyard to hang her laundry. Carmen swung the white cloth, giving a good swing for the drops of water to fly from the fabric, she hanged the clothes and exhaled a sigh. Turning her face, she saw Elise giving a little yawn despite her bright expression.
"Something good happen, Elly? Yesterday you took a half day off didn't you? Did you go to a trip?" Carmen probed happily to take the next bed cloth she had to hang.
"Yes, something like that." Elise replied with a smile. She recalled Master Ian calling her name and her smile couldn't stay still.
"Move your hands and keep working." Vella said in a clipped tone from the other side of the spot where the fabric had covered between them.
